Build your own LEGO® tower

4.1
A LEGO Tower

When building a LEGO® tower there are endless possibilities – you can a build a castle, a skyscraper, or just see how many bricks you can stack until your tower topples!

Steps

  • Step 1

    Sketch a design

    Think about the design of your tower, will it be tall? Draw it out so you know what your LEGO® tower will look like.

  • Step 2

    Build a base

    You can use a LEGO® baseplate if you have one or create one from bricks.

  • Step 3

    Create the foundations

    Lay the basic foundation for your tower. The easiest shape is a simple square of four bricks – but a wider base might be more supportive.

  • Step 4

    Build your tower up

    Top tip: Remember, you don’t need to follow straight lines. Towers often build up to a point. At the top, you could stack your bricks into a triangle shape.

  • Step 5

    Finishing touches!

    If you’re building a castle, you can add flags, turrets, dragons, princes or princesses. If you’re building a more modern design, you could add clocks, satellite dishes or an antenna. It’s up to you!
